The smartphone has become a requirement in the current digital age. If the smartphone closes, breaks down or falls into the water, first of all try home remedies to turn it on. But is this type of home remedy actually suitable for electronic devices?
When our smartphone falls into the water, we put it in a rice container instead of taking it to the mobile repair store. This absorbs the water present in the rice smartphone and the smartphone starts working again as before. But experts have predicted that doing so can be dangerous in some cases.
Due to exposure to water, the smartphone battery can deteriorate and even the phone can stop working. Due to this fear, most people put it in rice container when their phone falls into the water. But is this right? If the phone falls into the water, can we save money by putting it in rice? Let us know how much truth is there in this?
What did the experts say?
Actually, if a phone falls into the water, most people put it in rice so that the rice absorbs the moisture of the phone quickly. If the phone is in contact with water, keeping it in rice bowl can help some extent. However, most experts believe that raw rice should not be used to dry wet accessories. The raw rice is not able to absorb water properly with the phone.
It is believed that rice is not as effective as people think. Rice slowly absorbs moisture, so water can remain in the phone for a long time. Not only this, by doing this, rice can get stuck in charging port etc. and this can also burst the phone. So if the phone has fallen into the water, you can also adopt other measures instead of putting it in a rice bowl.
What to do if your smartphone falls into water?
Turn off the phone
If the phone falls into the water and still turns on, stop it immediately. Turning off the phone reduces the chances of short circuit.
Wipe the phone with a dry cloth.
If the phone falls into the water, then immediately wipe it with a dry cloth, but make sure the phone’s charging socket, speaker and headphone jack are properly cleaned. If there is water in the charging socket of the phone, then the smartphone may burst or other problems may arise when charged.
Remove phone cover and accessories.
If the phone falls into the water, remove its cover and screen guard and immediately keep it in the sun for 5 to 7 hours.
Hair dryer will help.
If you have a hair dryer in your house, use it to dry the phone immediately. Stir the hair dryer on the entire phone screen for at least 10 to 15 minutes.
